Did Fergie’s Hubby Cheat with a Stripper? - Popcast | Entertainment

Fergie and Josh Duhamel have avoided the scandal and rumors that plague most Hollywood couples … until now.

The new issue of People reports that after less than a year of marriage the singer and her actor beau are fending off rumors that he has been unfaithful.

Duhamel reportedly cheated on his wife last month with a stripper named Nicole Forrester. It’s said that the single mom from Atlanta and Fergie’s hubby met while he filming a new romantic comedy, “Life As We Know It.”




Forrester tells People her first encounter with the star was at Tattletales, the strip club where she works.

“We had a few cocktails and I did one dance,” she says.

But according to Forrester, their contact didn’t end there. She goes on to say that Duhamel contacted her a few days later to arrange a meeting at the St. Regis hotel in Atlanta. And before the story of their fling broke he allegedly got in touch with her again.

“He said, ‘I don’t know how this happened,’ and he was telling me he loved his wife,” she tells People.

Duhamel’s rep immediately denied the allegation saying: “This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity. This story is absolutely ridiculous.”




Tattletales’ general manager, Tom Hudson, confirms that Forrester and Duhamel had a run-in, but says there was nothing more. He tells People, they “met here, but that’s about it.”

RadarOnline.com has reported that Forrester passed a polygraph when giving her version of the story.

A music industry source who knows both Fergie and Josh well says in recent years the couple “have both put career very high, and often before each other,” but that doesn’t mean The Dutchess doesn’t feel the sting of the scandal.




“She’s certainly disappointed with all the rumors about cheating,” the source adds. “It hurts.”

The scandalous attention comes just as Fergie is being thrust into the spotlight as the sexy songstress graces the December cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in advance of her appearance in the upcoming film, “Nine.” In the issue Fergie opens up about her image.

"You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore,” she explains. “And me? I'm both."

Looks like her and her hubby might have that in common.
